Unimaginably Large

They just watched helplessly as Lin Chuan took Son Gohan away.

Of course, Bulma was with them as well.

No one said a single word to stop them.

It wasn't until the three of them disappeared from sight that the others finally managed to snap out of their stupor.

Still, no one spoke.

Kami Piccolo stepped forward, using his perspective to provoke the group of warriors with his words.

"Do you understand the gap in strength now?! The Saiyan invaders arriving on Earth in a year are highly likely to possess combat power on par with the Lin Chuan we just saw."

"Although Lin Chuan claimed earlier that he didn't hold those two Saiyans in high regard, the actual reality remains an unknown."

"One year! We only have one year! I do not want to pin all our hopes on Goku, nor do I wish to entrust the future of Earth to that Saiyan, Lin Chuan!"

"Therefore, you must prepare yourselves fully! Get ready to face the most brutal, hellish training!"

Kami Piccolo's earnest words carried a heavy sense of oppression.

Undoubtedly, the reason he had let Son Gohan stay behind earlier while allowing Lin Chuan and Bulma to go find the Dragon Balls was to use Lin Chuan's strength to intimidate these promising talents he had gathered.

As long as it served as motivation and gave them a clear goal for their future, it would inevitably make them stronger.

They all understood what Kami Piccolo meant, nodding one after another and voicing their own intentions.

In short, they all asked Kami Piccolo to train them ruthlessly.

In the original story, they had indeed relied on Kami Piccolo to boost their power levels during that time.

In the blink of an eye.

Night fell.

In the largest and most prosperous city on Earth.

West City.

Lin Chuan, accompanied by Son Gohan and at Bulma's invitation, boarded the large transport jet she had left at Kame House to return to her home.

You might ask, couldn't the jet be retracted into a Capsule?

The reason was simple: the jet was towing Lin Chuan's spaceship, so it couldn't be stored in a Capsule and had to be flown manually back to West City.

That was how it had been before, which was why they had ended up at Kame House.

Later on, Lin Chuan had found the jet too slow, so he had simply carried Bulma to search for the Dragon Balls.

Now that the important matters were settled and his primary objectives had been achieved, there was no need to be in such a rush.

On the contrary, he needed some time to reflect and consider his detailed plans for the future.

First, naturally, was how he should proceed with his cultivation and how he would alter the plot moving forward.

Second, was how to guide Son Gohan. Regardless of anything else, he would need to take some action just to keep up appearances.

They arrived at Bulma's home.

The private residential estate of Capsule Corp.

The first impression could only be described with one word: massive!

It was absurdly large, beyond what one could imagine.

Lin Chuan wasn't some country bumpkin who had never seen the world; as a transmigrator, what kind of luxury mansions or estates hadn't he seen?

At the very least, he had seen countless photos and videos on the internet in his past life.

However, he still couldn't help but be shocked.

It was mainly because Bulma's home backed onto the West City plains, so if you really wanted to calculate the area, there was no fixed number.

At the very least, it was measured in square kilometers.

Simply put, a front yard, a backyard, plus a garden... the normal living area alone spanned tens of thousands of square meters.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg of the estate; there were massive ecological zones that could sustain large creatures like dinosaurs!

The large warehouse complex was as big as a harbor.

There were also dozens of buildings of various shapes, not to mention the research areas and so on...

Anyone would find it hard to believe.

One had to say, it was worthy of being the world's number one, Capsule Corp!

Even in this era, when Bulma was only just beginning to manage her family's business, it was not to be underestimated.

If it were anywhere else, this private territory could be considered a town of considerable size.

The jet landed.

Bulma jumped down directly, and Lin Chuan and Son Gohan followed suit, disembarking from the jet.

Before Lin Chuan could say anything, he heard Son Gohan's exclamation of surprise: "Is this Aunt Bulma's home? It's so big."

Son Gohan was like a curious child, looking around everywhere.

Everything he saw overturned his small worldview.

After all, he had previously only lived on the remote Mount Paozu.

Although he knew a lot of information about the outside world through books, he had never left home, let alone visited a modern city.

To him, it felt as if he had arrived in a new world.

"Little Gohan, what you're seeing now is only a small part of my home. After we have dinner in a little while, I'll take you on a proper tour."

"Speaking of which, since your father entrusted you to Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan will be staying at my place for the time being, you'll be living here for a while too."

As Bulma spoke, she used a remote control to lower the spaceship from the jet.

Son Gohan, standing to the side, gave a soft "mm" and stopped talking, his eyes wide as he watched.

Under Bulma's control, the spaceship landed quickly, and several robots approached to assist with the process.

Such a scene left even Lin Chuan stunned.

He knew that this kind of scene had never appeared in the original work.

Even in the original, while Bulma's family had intelligent robots, they were limited to just a few.

Bulma was quite pleased to see the surprised expressions on Lin Chuan and Son Gohan's faces.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she handed the remote in her hand to a robot to continue the operation.

"We can leave this to the robots for now. It's already past six, let's go have dinner first."

"I already arranged for the domestic robots to start preparing when we got back."

With the intention of giving Lin Chuan a real surprise, Bulma drove a sightseeing vehicle carrying Lin Chuan and Son Gohan toward the massive circular house in the distance, introducing the place as they went.

She not only explained the division of the various areas but also clarified the purpose of each different building.

Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the main house of the estate.

It was the very same massive circular house that had appeared countless times in the original work.

For Lin Chuan, this was the only landmark he was actually familiar with.

He had previously thought that no matter how big Bulma's home was, it was just a house with a large garden.

Who could have known it would be this terrifying.

After entering the main house, Lin Chuan met Bulma's mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Brief.

The couple was incredibly surprised by the identities of Lin Chuan and Son Gohan.

For one, this was only the third male Bulma had ever brought home.

Secondly, Goku, who was younger than Bulma, already had a child—how could they not be shocked?

Looking at their own daughter, as a woman, if she dragged this out any longer, she would become an aging spinster.

Of course, Bulma would not take her parents' hints to heart.

In the original story, she was always one to go her own way.

Asking her to settle for less was as good as killing her.

How could her parents not know what kind of temper their daughter had?

So, seeing that it was useless to press their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Brief turned their attention to Lin Chuan instead.

Especially Bulma's mother; her tentative, proactive approach left Lin Chuan feeling somewhat flattered.
